This is another card, the Blackberry Beauty Happy Fall Card you could use to send to someone for Thanksgiving! Normally I don’t like cattywampus card designs like this one, with the papers at an angle, but somehow I liked it on this card! I never make cards like this! But the colors with the gold foil look rich and elegant and perfect for fall and Thanksgiving.
The card base is Cinnamon Cider, one of the In Colors for 2020-22. The designer paper is the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper. I didn’t use one of the papers with gold foil, I used a “plainer” one with a foliage/floral design.
Next, I turned to the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack for other design elements. I loved this pack (and so did a lot of other people because it has been hard to get and is back-ordered as I write this! Usually packs like this are all gold foil pieces but this one of laser cut pieces are paper with color and gold foil accents. I loved the flower (looks like Queen Anne’s Lace) but I wanted it to stand out more. I cut out a piece of Cinnamon Cider that would fit behind the frame you see. To make it more interesting, I embossed it with the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder. It just gives it a little something extra.
The frame and the piece the greeting is stamped on are also in the Ephemera Pack. After playing around with all the pieces for a while, I settled on this “askew” design! As I said, I usually don’t care for that look but that is what pleased me in making this card! I stamped the little label piece using Cinnamon Cider ink and just used part of the greeting in the Banner Year Stamp Set. The frame is popped up with some foam strips, like Dimensionals. The flower is also popped up inside the frame.
While I can’t believe we are already into November, my Halloween decorations are put away and my Thanksgiving ones are out! If you want to mail cards or make little treats for Thanksgiving, now is the time to do it before we are full-blast into Christmas! Enjoy this fall season! Remember to change your clocks tonight/tomorrow back to Standard Time!
